University of Texas Pan American robotics group, Center for Gravitational Wave Astronomy, Rio Grande Valley
Astronomical Association, Urban Science Initiative, Inc., Star Labs, and the 3D Science Wall.

Look for the "Personal Sustainability Exhibit", provided by WalMart. Focusing on the environment is key to the WalMart mission to improve the quality of life for people around the world. Ever want to be a "Science Reporter?" Drop by the
Space Wall provided by USI, Inc., and see what its like to report live from a space shuttle launch. Flying the space shuttle back to Earth and landing at the Kennedy Space Center is an incredible experience for shuttle pilots.

The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest international scientific project ever conceived. Built by the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada, and 11 European countries, the station is powered by solar arrays that will generate 110 kilowatts of power once completed. Laboratory and habitation modules will support a permanent international crew of seven astronauts. ISS will serve as a platform for Earth and space observation and the experiments conducted on board will help produce new materials and pharmaceutical products, which can only be developed in microgravity.
